You guys clamor and complain about Simple not supporting Android Pay in the comments of every single one of these updated bank posts. Well, complain no more, as Simple customers can finally – yes, that word – use Android Pay. That is, if you’re on an account with Simple’s new partner bank, BBVA Compass.

By now, most of you have probably already been transitioned to a BBVA account, so you should be fine in that regard.

Ubisoft has just announced a new Tom Clancy game for Android titled Tom Clancy’s ShadowBreak. Something that has been noticeably absent from the Play Store, it was only a matter of time before Ubisoft brought the Tom Clancy series to mobile. From what I have seen, this looks to be an online multiplayer title that mixes sniper combat with Clash Royale lane-based combat. An odd mix for sure that only time will tell if it pans out for them.

Google started rolling out the new location sharing feature in Google Maps today, which is vastly more streamlined than the old method. You can share your location with a contact, of course, but there’s more to it. You can also create links that share your location, and they come with all the same controls as contact sharing.

To create a link, simply set the length of time you want your location shared and pick an app.

There’s a new version of Android Auto rolling out and this one is definitely worth the download. Version 2.2 brings one of the most requested features to the Auto interface since it was launched: Notifications can now be swiped away from the overview screen. There’s also a new option to disable messaging notifications, which might help if those have been getting in your way. As usual, grab the latest update from the link at the bottom if it’s not already rolling out to your phone.

I really wish that phone manufacturers would make up their minds and choose just one fast charging technology. Some phones use Qualcomm Quick charge, others use a 5V 3A power supply via Type-C (I won’t even get started on those who do something else completely different). It’s annoying that each group of devices requires a different charger to charge at its peak potential. That is, unless you have one charger that can do both.

If you are looking to add voice control for your TV and media console to your smart home setup then the Harmony Smart Control with the Harmony Hub is a product that you should definitely check out. With this kit you can control up to eight devices in your media center three different ways – with the remote, through Alexa, or the companion Android app. It also is compatible with some smart home devices like Sonos, Phillips Hue, and Apple TV. That’s cool, and what is even cooler is that it’s on sale right now for just $ 69.99, a whopping $ 60 off.

Roaming isn’t something that those of us who live in more populated areas encounter often, but it can be a common occurrence for people in more rural or less-developed places. Android has always been pretty terrible at showing what kind of data connection you’re roaming on in the status bar; thankfully, the latest 7.1.2 Nougat beta has brought this much-needed, yet simple update to this indicator.

Previously, it was impossible to see what type of data connection (LTE, H, 3G, E, etc.) you were on if you were roaming, as the ‘R’ indicator would take those indicators’ place above the signal bars.

SoundHound may have just become one of the best ways to listen to Spotify on your phone. The app has had Spotify integration for years, first allowing you to add songs you find to your Spotify playlists, then stream these songs with LiveLyrics and listen to curated playlists, and now it has added full playlist support.

What this means is that you can now connect your Spotify account to your SoundHound account and see all of your playlists.
